Meatless Minestrone Soup

Minestrone Soup is a popular Italian soup made of seasonal vegetables. My recipe is really easy, satisfying and gets the job done in 30 minutes. I used vegetable stock to make my minestrone soup a totally meatless version, but you may use beef or chicken stock if you like.

The ingredients used in this recipe like kidney beans, celery, onions and cabbage are common minestrone soup ingredients, but feel free to use whatever vegetables are in season. I used some leftover canned diced tomatoes which is not a usual addition, but it definitely adds more tangy flavour and colour to the soup! This soup goes well on its own as a one-dish-meal, or with some garlic bread.

This is a very adaptable recipe; feel free to use your favourite stock, herbs and seasonable vegetables. You can also tweak the consistency of the soup to your liking. The soup is traditionally more chunky, but you may make a more brothy version (like I did) by using more stock.
